Alright I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't mind saving the money (and I think my dad will agree).

Get the Koni's from Acute - Pelican parts has the OEM struts, but they're $234 ea. for fronts and $134 ea for rears - which equals about exactly what the Koni's will run and the Koni's are better.

There is a nice writeup on the konis on Tire Rack if you want more information. I just wish I can find a similar one for the KWs...anybody seen one?

That's exactly what I've been trying to find out...if the KW's function like the Koni FSD's. That damping mechanism just makes sense...simple physics.

Well if that is the case I cant go with those either because I have dynamic drive as well
